DINE OUT: Restaurants gear up for United Way fundraiser. 2A

THOMASVILLE – Insurance and financial services administrator Paul Straubel takes comfort in providing 100 new jobs in a tough economic climate – he just wishes that his company could provide more.

But given the high level of local unemployment, The Assurance Group’s new jobs will make a difference in the lives of 100 breadwinners and their families.

The Assurance Group, also known as TAG, is expanding its call center division in Thomasville near the Davidson-Ran-

It currently has 30 workers, Straubel said.

HIGH POINT – A High Point Realtor has been named the 2009 Realtor of the Year by the North Carolina Association of Realtors.

Bob Fowler, part-owner of Fowler and Fowler Realtors, became the 60th recipient of the award and the fifth Realtor from High Point to receive the distinction at a ceremony at the N.C. Realtors Annual Convention and Expo in Savannah, Ga. “It was very humbling, and it was a complete surprise,” said Fowler, who is a 36-year veteran of the real estate industry.

A High Point native, Fowler is a member of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, or HPRAR, and has served as its president, treasurer and secretary for the association. He has served as president of the N.C. Association of Realtors and is a retired lieutenant colonel with the U.S. Army Reserve.

“This is a brilliant example of character, integrity and commitment,” said Ed Terry, executive vice president of HPRAR. The High Point native opened

without the package.

Did we avoid a disaster?

Or would it have done better by itself through a private sector recovery? It’s inherently very difficult, and that’s why there’s a lot of disagreement,” said McCully, associate professor of economics at High Point University.

Another complication is that only about one-third of the stimulus has been spent so far, meaning it’s difficult to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the impact, McCully said.

The politics surrounding the stimulus add to the dispute. For example, the White House estimates that the stimulus plan will create or save 105,000 jobs in North Carolina, according to the NCRecovery. gov Web site coordinated through Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office.

In a statement on the Web site, Perdue says: “While the funds won’t solve all of the challenges facing North Carolina and the nation, they are critical to getting North

Carolina back on track.

“The funds will help rebuild our infrastructure, grow our economy, stabilize our budget and get North Carolinians back to work.”

But a report released by the conservative-leaning Civitas Institute contends that the stimulus will cost jobs in North Carolina.

“Federal government spending comes with costs; it should not be accepted as the free-lunch it is frequently considered to be,” according to the report prepared by Ardu-

Beaten Ohio man is shot during self-defense lesson GROVEPORT, Ohio (AP) – An 80-year-old Ohio man is recovering from a week in which he was beaten during a home invasion and then shot while trying to learn about guns.

Ralph Needs says he wouldn’t want anyone to experience what he’s been through.

He was tied up and pistol-whipped when at least three intruders broke into his Columbus-area home Sept. 20. Needs’ nose was broken and his pickup truck, a computer and credit cards were stolen.

Four days later, Needs was shot in the hand during a self-defense lesson.

A 9 mm pistol went off as one of his sons was loading it.

Groveport police say it was an accident, so there will be no charges. No one has been arrested in the assault, but one person was charged in connection with the stolen computer, now recovered.

Gray, 27, was born in Fayetteville and has been in the Army for five years. He’s stationed at Camp Casey in South Korea, with the 2nd Infantry Division as a signals intelligence analyst.

Government is destroying middle class Kudos to Bill Brewer on his insightful letter about governmental changes that need to be made.

Ron Loren Pitts corrected him on details of how this can’t be accomplished, but I feel he didn’t see the important message of the letter.

I do not know Pitts’ political beliefs nor do I care. I would assume, based on his letter, that he resides on the left-hand side of the aisle.

At some point in time, we need to think like Americans, and not like Republicans and Democrats.

I read an article in The High Point Enterprise on Oct. 1 about our president travelling to Europe to make a pitch for Chicago to host a future Olympics. What’s up with that? Why are we paying for that trip? What does Chicago getting the Olympic bid have to do with his job description?

We are losing businesses daily and our president flew to Europe and failed to secure an Olympic bid! Would someone please

enlighten my simple mindedness with a valid explanation.

Last but certainly not least, our government has decided that they want to be a player in the business world. Their track record is pretty bad in that area. They need to show some fiscal responsibility and prove their capability.

They have ridden on the backs of working, middle class America for years, but they have basically destroyed that segment of society.

I guess they will go to plan B and just print more. That thought makes me feel safe and contented.

Cheney has much for which to account Dick Cheney remains the leader

of our worst administration. Admittedly he was George W. Bush’s sage in putting together the administration that is challenging Nixon’s Watergate regime for the worst administration in our history.

Cheney remains delusional, arrogant and approaches a state of blindness to reality of the Republican responsibilities as to the status of these United States after eight years of abject failure as the most powerful vice president in history.

available, thus they have to be assumed do no good. Obviously, clarity is being avoided.

Only Cheney seeks a credit on Cheney faith. Cheney was allstate in football in a state never heard from. There was an Internet record that he flunked out of Yale twice, did not serve during Vietnam.

Bush’s Texas National Guard records were not produced, but the incomplete report suggests preferential treatment to avoid active duty.

These two make an unbelievable twosome in pursuit of military for military solutions and budget deficits for each of their eight years of unproductive service.

Plus loss of world prestige.

Mr. Vice President, please truth up or shut up.

et’s do it again! Next year. Stage it in the same area or, perhaps, in a different location.

The four-session first Ilderton Beach Music Blast in the City Project’s Uptowne High Point neighborhood was so successful at (1) getting people involved, (2) demonstrating what kind of draw can be sustained and grown as a neighborhood is revitalized and (3) raising muchneeded funds for the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina, which currently has 3,000 children in foster care awaiting/hoping for permanent homes.

Dorsay Eichhorn, a High Pointer who serves on the CHS board, indicated the four sessions drew some well over 6,000 people, even though one of them had to be held indoors because of inclement weather. Photographs of the crowds at the concerts and comments by those who attended were most complimentary. In short, the Beach Music Blast was a big hit. Kudos to Ilderton Chrysler Dodge Jeep for stepping up as primary sponsor and to the eight other sponsors (which included the city of High Point), as well as the four bands – Legends of the Beach, The Part Time Party Time Band, Band of Oz and The Embers – for making this first attempt by the City Project to focus on Uptowne so memorable.

Why even suggest, should the Beach Music Blast come back to High Point next year, that it be scheduled for another location? It would allow the City Project folks to put the focus on another of the eight neighborhoods for which it is attempting to build revitalization partnerships. The Beach Music Blast is a terrific way to get buy-in to what the City Project can produce at the grass roots level.

Let’s do it again!

Why mistrust Fox News?

Columnist counts the ways

P

erhaps you are familiar with an old saying: even a broken clock is right twice a day. I’ve found that maxim valuable as I wade through the recent hand-wringing and recrimination among journalists and their critics over the fact that most mainstream media were slow to pick up on the story of corruption at ACORN. New York Times ombudsman Clark Hoyt (a former colleague) and Andrew Alexander, his counterpart at the Washington Post, are among those who have asked whether that laggard performance reflects an unfortunate deafness to conservative media. As one of my readers put it, “There is a lot wrong with ACORN, and Fox was the only channel talking about it.”

I might join this pity party if I thought Fox a credible news source. I do not. Consider just a few of the network’s and its hosts’ recent lowlights: June 3 – In a column Bill O’Reilly says he never called murdered abortion doctor George Tiller “a baby killer.”

This is wrong. PolitiFact.com has documented 24 instances just since 2005, of O’Reilly referring to the doctor as “Tiller the baby killer.”

June 10 – Glenn Beck asks, “Why do we have automatic citizenship upon birth? We’re the only country in the world that has it.”

This is incorrect. Canada has it, as do 32 other nations.

June 18 – Sean Hannity says that under the Cash For Clunkers program, “all we’ve got to do is ... go to a local junkyard, all you’ve got to do is tow it to your house. And you’re going to get $4,500.”

This is false. The program requires the car to be drivable and to have been registered for at least a year.

July 22 – Beck says the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy “has proposed forcing abortions and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population.”

This is untrue. The claim is based on a textbook John Holdren co-authored in 1977 that analyzed and “rejected” such coercive means of birth control.

July 31 – Kimberly Guilfoyle claims the government will get total access in perpetuity to the computer of any participant in the Cash for

Clunkers program who signs up at the government Web site, cars.gov.

This is inaccurate. FactCheck. org reports this claim is based on a security notice required of “car dealers” who access a secure area of the Web site.

Let me make this next point crystalline; “every” news orgaOPINION nization from CNN to CBS to Miami’s Herald to L.A.’s Times gets Leonard it wrong on occasion, and every Pitts single report risks reflecting the ■■■ biases – political, racial, religious, class, educational, geographical, generational – of the reporter. This will be true until the day the news business is no longer run by human beings.

But Fox is in a class by itself. In its epidemic inaccuracy, its ongoing disregard for basic journalistic standards of fairness, its demagogic appeals and its blatantly ideological promotions it is, indeed, unique – a news source in name only.

That’s not just an opinion: a 2003 study found Fox viewers more likely to be misinformed than those who get their news elsewhere.

Yet because this network that cries wolf, this network of birthers, terrorist fist bumps and tea party promotions, got it right for a change, mainstream media should wear sackcloth and ashes for their failure to take it seriously? No. What missing the ACORN story suggests is a need for mainstream reporters to develop more sources among conservative activists and bloggers. But Fox forfeited any expectation of being taken seriously by serious people when it made itself an echo chamber less concerned with reporting news than with affirming the ideological biases of its viewers.

When faced with a broken clock, after all, the person who wants to know the time has two options: try to guess when the reading is right...

Or get another clock.

Socialists trounce conservatives in Greece ATHENS, Greece – Greece’s Socialists trounced the governing conservatives in a landslide election Sunday, with voters angered by scandals and a faltering economy ousting Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis halfway through his second term.

Humbled by his New Democracy party’s worst electoral performance ever, Karamanlis, 53, resigned as its leader and said a new chief is needed.

Mubarak urges Israel to resume peace talks CAIRO – Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak urged Israel to resume peace talks with the Palestinians where they broke off more than a year ago, warning that the peace process “can’t take another failure.”

U.N. nuclear watchdog sees Iran cooperation TEHRAN, Iran – The visiting head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog set Oct. 25 as the date for his inspectors to check Iran’s newly revealed uranium enrichment site and struck an upbeat note Sunday, saying Tehran’s confrontation with the West is shifting gears to more cooperation and transparency.

Though the United Nations has no “concrete proof” of an ongoing nuclear weapons program, the chief of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, said he has “concerns.”

8 U.S. troops dead after fierce Afghan battle KABUL (AP) – Hundreds of insurgents armed with automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenades stormed a pair of remote outposts near the Pakistan border, killing eight U.S. soldiers and capturing more than 20 Afghan security troops in the deadliest assault against U.S. forces

in more than a year, military officials said Sunday.

The fierce gunbattle, which erupted at dawn Saturday in the Kamdesh district of mountainous Nuristan province and raged throughout the day, is likely to fuel the debate in Washington over the direction of the war.

It was the heaviest U.S. loss of life in a single battle since July 2008, when nine American soldiers were killed in a raid on an outpost in Wanat in the same province.

Fuel truck explodes near Baghdad airport BAGHDAD (AP) – A fuel tanker exploded Sunday near a checkpoint outside of Baghdad International Airport, Iraqi officials said, along a route once known as the world’s deadliest road because of frequent attacks there during the height of the insurgency.

There were conflicting reports about the cause of the explosion, which wounded at least five guards at the

checkpoint. No fatalities were reported.

A police official said a bomb attached to the tanker detonated at the checkpoint on the four-lane road leading to the airport. But airport spokesman Kareem al-Timini said the explosion was an accident that was caused when the driver started a fire to cook breakfast on the side of the road.

The explosion caused four other tankers to catch

Trial to begin in girl’s hypothermia death

Obama to take on gay ban at ‘right time’

BOISE, Idaho – Elevenyear-old Sage Aragon and her older brother set out in the snow on Christmas Day, hiking along a frigid, desolate stretch of Idaho highway on their way to their mother’s house.

Sage would never make it, and Bear would eventually turn up alone at a rest area.

A jury is expected to convene this week to consider whether their father, Robert Aragon, should be held responsible for her death and the hypothermia Bear, who was then 12, suffered.

The case garnered national attention, prompting outpourings of both outrage and support from the community for Aragon, 56, who was raising Sage and Bear on his own.

Suspects in church fire face new charges SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Two white men charged with torching a predominantly black Massachusetts church in response to President Barack Obama’s election have been indicted in an earlier fire.

Twenty-two-year-old Benjamin Haskell and 24year-old Michael Jacques are charged with burning a home in Springfield on Christmas Eve in 2003.

The two men and 21-yearold Thomas Gleason Jr. have pleaded not guilty to federal charges they burned the Macedonia Church of God in Christ in Springfield on Nov. 5 last year.

Le, a pharmacology graduate student, vanished Sept. 8 from a Yale medical lab building. Her body was found five days later in a hidden utility access behind the wall of a basement laboratory.

Clark, 24, worked as an animal lab technician, cleaning floors and mouse cages in the lab where Le worked.

Studies find higher autism figure: 1 in 100 CHICAGO – Two new government studies indicate about 1 in 100 children have autism disorders – higher than a previous U.S. estimate of 1 in 150.

Greater awareness, broader definitions and spotting autism in younger children may explain some of the increase, federal health officials said.

“The concern here is that buried in these numbers is a true increase,” said Dr. Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health. “We’re going to have to think very hard about what we’re going to do for the 1 in 100.”

Somalia president decries terror recruiting

Officials: Newborn safer in state custody NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) – A newborn boy abducted by a woman posing as an immigration agent was again taken from his mother after a brief reunion, this time by state officials who said the baby and his three siblings would be safest with foster parents.

Rob Johnson, a spokesman for the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services, said the children were taken from their mother, Maria Gurrolla, “purely for safety reasons,� though he would not detail why they were in danger.

Johnson said officials made arrangements for Gurrolla to see her baby Saturday afternoon and hold him, four days after he was abducted. She brought her three other children – ages 3, 9 and 11 – to the reunion and all of the children were then taken into custody.

ST. PAUL, Minn.

(AP) – The president of Somalia on Sunday denounced the recruiting of young men from Minnesota’s huge Somali community for terrorist activity in his warravaged homeland, and said he plans to work with the U.S. government to bring those still alive back home.

President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed spoke with The Associated Press while visiting the Minneapolis area, where authorities believe as many as 20 young Somali men – possibly recruited by a vision of jihad to fight – returned to the impoverished nation over the last two years.

6 members of top court attend Mass WASHINGTON (AP) – An American cardinal on Sunday issued a plea for the rights of the unborn at a church service that included Vice President Joe Biden, six members of the Supreme Court and hundreds of members of the legal community.

Five of the six Roman Catholics on the high court – Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy

and Samuel Alito – heard the homily by Cardinal Daniel DiNardo; the sixth, Justice Clarence Thomas, did not attend.

Justice Stephen Breyer, who is Jewish, was there as well.

Speaking at the annual Red Mass the day before the opening of the Supreme Court term, DiNardo said that people represented by lawyers are “more than clients. ... In some cases the clients are voiceless

for they lack influence; in others they are literally voiceless, not yet with tongues and even without names, and require our most careful attention and radical support.�

DiNardo did not elaborate on the rights of the unborn, focusing instead

Selena Gomez: Trip to Africa changed life NEW YORK (AP) – She’s a Disney teen queen, a TV wizard, and a fledgling rock singer. But 17-year-old Selena Gomez says what really blew her mind recently was a trip to the African nation of Ghana.

“I got to meet teens, I got to meet children, I got to meet families,” Gomez said in an interview Friday about the trip, which she took last month with her mother and stepfather in her role as UNICEF’s youngest-ever ambassador.

“It was completely lifechanging and eye-opening, and when we came back we definitely had nothing to complain about.”

This is Gomez’s second year as spokesperson for the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF program, which the organization says is one of the longest-running youth volunteer movements in America. Last year, Gomez raised some $700,000 for the campaign; this year she hopes to bring in $1 million.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Film director Roman Polanski agreed to pay his sexual assault victim $500,000 to settle a lawsuit 15 years after he fled the United States, according to court documents provided to media outlets Friday.

Polanski and the victim, Samantha Geimer, reached the deal in October 1993. The terms of the settlement were confidential, but the amount was disclosed in court documents because of a two-year struggle to get Polanski to pay.

Court records do not indicate if Polanski, now 76, ever paid. The

Polanski’s attorney, David Finkle, said he couldn’t remember details of the case and declined comment.

“It’s ancient,” Finkle said.

A phone message left for Geimer’s attorney, Lawrence Silver, wasn’t immediately returned.

Geimer and her family also have not returned calls this week seeking comment.

Scott Siegel of New Rochelle pleaded guilty Friday to distributing anabolic steroids. The 34-year-old also admitted trying to run down the agents who arrested him.

Sentencing guidelines point to a prison term of about five years. Prosecutors said investigators found 1,500 bottles of steroids and thousands of dollars in cash at Siegel’s and his parents’ homes.

dent in which a young child playing with a lighter that looked like a Dalmatian ignited some bedding that led to a fire that caused extensive damage to a house a couple of years ago. Earlier this year, a child playing with a novelty lighter ignited a fire that damaged a Dollar General store in Jamestown.

Officials said there have been more serious incidents involving injuries linked to the lighters in other states.

Five states have banned

the lighters, which are commonly sold at convenience and hardware stores and are considered by some to be collector’s items.

“There is no good reason to disguise fire danger as a toy that would appeal to children,” said North Carolina Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Wayne Goodwin. “I’m thankful the legislature passed this ban on novelty lighters in North Carolina; we are all safer because of it.”

Democrats get a dose of Sunshine

New local party leader wants to spark involvement

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Ken Sunshine owes his keen interest in politics and turn toward activism to former President George W. Bush.

Only thing is, the 42-year-old father of three children is a Democrat.

Sunshine, who recently became the new High Point vice chairman of the Guilford County Democratic Party, said that he modestly followed politics for most of his life. But the drubbing the Democrats took in the 2002 election, combined with Bush’s re-election four years ago, propelled Sunshine toward a leadership role in local Democratic Party circles.

“I started seeing things that were upsetting me enough that I was afraid – not so much for myself, but for what kind of world my kids would end up inheriting,” Sunshine said.

Sunshine Sunshine became active in High Point Democratic circles at the same time the national mood began to turn, leading to last year’s election of President Barack Obama and Democratic gains in Congress.

Sunshine appreciates the victorious results that Democrats nationally and locally enjoyed last year and in 2006, but he worries about complacency.

“Even after the Obama victory, at the local level, there is so much apathy. So many people who got involved with the Obama campaign have gone back into the woodwork,” said the computer support and network administration professional.

Sunshine, who is serving a two-year term as High Point vice chairman of the county party, said a chief goal is to revitalize interest among Democrats in party activities and promote involvement in local and state legislative elections.

While Sunshine would like to build on the voter registration gains made by Democrats in the area and state during the Obama campaign, having voters on the rolls isn’t enough.

“Having people registered isn’t a goal in and of itself. Because registered voters don’t do you any good if they’re not involved,” he said. “In order for any party or movement to survive, whether we want health care or new jobs, having people registered isn’t going to get that done. You really need people to be involved and take a stand.”

HIGH POINT – Two real estate professionals in High Point have gained statewide recognition from the North Carolina Association of Realtors.

After attending the N.C. Realtors Annual Convention and Expo in Savannah, Ga., Sept. 27-29, Ed Price with Commercial Properties and Amy Hedgecock with Fowler and Fowler Realtors received awards from the organization.

Price was presented with the Ben Ball Community Service Award which “recognizes the extraordinary public service Price has

demonstrated throughout his career and the impact his efforts have had in the community,” according to the NCAR. Price has been a member of NCAR and the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, or HPRAR, for more than 30 years where he has served in a variety of civic and philanthropic organizations. Most recently, Price volunteered with the newly opened Miracle Field in High Point.

“I was very honored and proud to have won this,” Price said. “Realtors have an obligation to this town that if we are going to sell

it, we need to do everything we can to make this the best town possible.”

Hedgecock was elected chair of the statewide Property Management Division. She was also one of 12 hand-picked participants across the state to enroll in and graduate from a NCAR leadership academy.

The two join Bob Fowler with Fowler and Fowler Realtors as professionals in the High Point real estate industry to be recognized at the event. Fowler was named 2009 Realtor of the Year.

“To be the parent organization of one state-wide award winner in three consecutive years would be great,” said Ed Terry, executive vice president of HPRAR. “But to have three winners in the same year is unprecedented.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Illness kills popular Argentine folk singer BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) – Argentine folk singer Mercedes Sosa, the “voice of Latin America” whose music inspired opponents of South America’s brutal military regimes and led to her forced exile in Europe, died Sunday, her family said. She was 74.

Marek Edelman stands in front of the Warsaw Ghetto Heroes monument during ceremonies marking the 64th anniversary of the uprising in Warsaw, Poland, in 2007.

Leader of 1943 Warsaw uprising dies at 90 WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Marek Edelman, the last surviving leader of the ill-fated 1943 Warsaw ghetto revolt against the Nazis, died Friday at the age of 90.

Edelman died of old age at the family home of his friend Paula Sawicka, where he had lived for the past two years.

“He died at home, among friends, among his close people,” Sawicka told The Associated Press.

Most of Edelman’s adult life was dedicated to the defense of human life, dignity and freedom. He fought the Nazis in the doomed

Warsaw ghetto revolt and later in the Warsaw city Uprising. And then for decades he fought communism in Poland.

His heroism earned him the French Legion of Honor and Poland’s highest civilian distinction, the Order of the White Eagle.

One of the few survivors of three weeks of uneven struggle in the Warsaw ghetto, he felt obliged to preserve the memory of the fallen heroes of that first large-scale Jewish revolt against the Nazis.

Each year, on the revolt’s anniversary, he laid flowers at Warsaw’s monu-

ment to the ghetto heroes, and called for tolerance.

“Man is evil, by nature man is a beast,” he said, and therefore people “have to be educated from childhood, from kindergarten, that there should be no hatred.”

He also felt obliged to appeal repeatedly to the world for freedom and peace – even when it had to be won in a fight.

“When you cannot defend freedom through peaceful means, you have to use arms to fight Nazism, dictatorship, chauvinism,” Edelman said in an 2008 interview.

Case puts spotlight on Charlotte’s growing sex trade MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

In his east Charlotte apartment less than a mile from Windsor Park Elementary, Jorge Flores Rojas created a religious shrine to a mystical figure known as the patron saint of death, who is said to protect pimps and other criminals.

Each day, Flores prayed to Santa Muerte, or “Saint Death,” joined by the teenage girls whom he forced to have sex with as many as 20 men a day.

Flores, 45, was a notorious operator in a city that has become

a center for sex trafficking along the East Coast.

Local and federal authorities are not sure how extensive the Charlotte sex rings have become.

They say Flores’ ring brought in hundreds of young women each year to work as prostitutes.

Flores was convicted of trafficking in April, but authorities say other pimps in Charlotte continue to prey on young girls from poor countries.

“I don’t think we really realized how big this was,” says Delbert Richburg, assistant special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforce-

ment’s Office of Investigations in Charlotte. “We’re probably just scratching the surface.”

The growth is so extensive that this month ICE stationed a team of agents in Charlotte to focus on human trafficking, smuggling and exploitation. Across the Carolinas, immigrant sex rings have been broken up in Monroe, Durham and Columbia.

Jennifer Stuart, a staff attorney for Legal Aid of North Carolina, says her office has seen a “sharp increase” in trafficking case referrals the last few months.

Federal agents say Flores, an

Accused Debate surrounds N.C. A&T’s pick for kidnapper faces homecoming concert incest, rape

GREENSBORO (AP) – While leaders at North Carolina A&T State University consider a replacement for a controversial rapper, his possible appearance at the homecoming concert has sparked debate among students at the historically black college.

The News and Record of Greensboro reports that the discussion centers on rapper Gucci Mane and an appearance scheduled for Oct. 31 at North Carolina A&T’s homecoming concert.

Debate began shortly after students returned to school last month. They objected to Mane, who celebrates his ties to the Bloods street gang on songs like “Blood in Blood Out” and “Same Red Rag.” Chancellor Harold Martin has said the school doesn’t want to censor any artist, but gang activity and drug dealing aren’t the things that should be showcased when welcoming

alumni and celebrating the university.

Bryon Turman, an A&T alumnus who now teaches courses on hip-hop at both A&T and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, said money, drugs and violence have been prevalent themes in rap since its earliest days. But with albums that celebrate crack dealing and gang life, Turman said Gucci Mane represents a type of “dope rap” that forgets why those things were discussed in early hip-hop.

Syene Jasmin, A&T’s student government association president, publicly apologized for the booking of Gucci Mane in a local television interview last month.

Jasmin’s statement brought criticism from students who said he shouldn’t have aired the school’s dirty laundry in public. But Martin and other prominent Aggies commended Jasmin for speaking out.

charges CHARLOTTE (AP) – A North Carolina man charged in the abduction of his two daughters – including a 12-year-old who is eight months pregnant – now faces rape and incest charges.

The Charlotte Observer reported Sunday that the 40-year-old man is charged in Lincoln County with indecent liberties with a child, first-degree rape and felony incest between near relatives.

The Associated Press does not identify alleged victims of sexual assault and is not naming the man to avoid identifying his daughter.

He is already charged with child neglect and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

illegal immigrant from Mexico, picked up vans full of eight to 10 young women each week outside the McDonald’s on West Sugar Creek Road near Interstate 85, where other traffickers had brought them. Others, he smuggled in directly from Latin America.

Two pairs of children’s sneakers, pink and green, now sit outside Flores’ old apartment off Sharon Amity Road near Eastland Mall. It was one of two apartments where, just a year ago, he hid his teenage victims.

Authorities say he brought customers there, but mostly took

the girls to hotels and brothels set up around the city.

He favored teenagers because he could charge more. Clients paid $25 to $30 for 15 minutes with one of the girls. One teenage victim testified in court that, on many occasions, Flores would drive her to a house or an apartment where men would be waiting.

An undercover agent says the teenagers would be made to have sex with up to 100 men a week.

“I have daughters,” he says. “... Every time I think of that number, it’s something I can’t fathom.”

Officials: Home where fire killed 3 didn’t have a working smoke detector MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MONROE – Edna Starnes became a surrogate mother of sorts to neighbor Robert Griffin after his own parents died when he was 21. Griffin said it was her way to open doors to friends and family members who’d fallen on hard times.

Starnes and two others died Saturday in an early morning fire that gutted a southern Union County home with 11 people sleeping inside. Three more went to a hospital with injuries. Investigators say the deaths might have been prevented if

a sliding glass window with the axe and ventured inside. By then, most of the people had gotten out and he could hear sirens in the distance.

Authorities had not released the names of the victims by late Saturday, but Griffin said Edna Starnes, the home’s owner, and her daughter Belinda Starnes died, along with a child who was sleeping on a couch.

Investigators suspect the three died of smoke inhalation, but are waiting for the Union County medical examiner to make a final determination.

the home had had a single working smoke detector.

Griffin, 42, who lived in an outbuilding on the property, said he was awakened by screams and the smell of smoke Saturday morning. He described grabbing an ax and running toward the house, barefoot and in night clothes.

“I tried to get in that way,” he said, pointing to a side door, “but the fire was too strong.” He says he raced around the outside of the house. He pushed an air conditioner through a window and heavy smoke billowed out. Ultimately, he broke

Dear Quandary: Because you are feeling “used,” why not draw the line now? If you do, the two families will

still have time to make other plans.

The way to handle it would be to say: “This ADVICE has been a year when Dear everyone Abby has had to ■■■ cut back, and we are no exception. That’s why we are limiting the number of guests we will be entertaining this Thanksgiving. We wanted you to know so there is enough time for you to make other arrangements. The parties have simply become too much work and too expensive to continue.”

If those folks are friends, they’ll grasp the economic reality and won’t resent your honesty and pragmatism.

And if they don’t, they weren’t real friends to begin with.

Dear Abby: I’m a 42year-old female physician. I have been dating an engineer for some time who is currently unemployed. He’s a good person, gentle and affectionate. However, he won’t introduce me to his mother. I’m not sure why. The subject has come up several times, and he keeps putting it off. She’s his only living family member.

Should this raise a red flag? We’re both from India and he lives with his mother, which is common practice. – M.D.

in a Muddle Dear M.D.: If the man is financially or emotionally dependent on his mother, he may be afraid that she will disapprove. Or, it could have something to do with the fact that he’s unemployed. Whatever his reason, he owes you an explanation if you’ve been seeing each other for an extended period of time. And yes, it is a red flag. Bright red.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend of several years has just told me he won’t marry me as long as I have student loan debt to pay off. I have always been upfront with him about the amount of money I owe. It’s a sizable sum, but my credit is good.

He says he loves me but cannot, in good faith, start a life with me owing that much money.

Abby, am I wrong to think that student loans should not stop two people who love each other from getting married? – Loaned Out in North Carolina Dear Loaned Out: No, you are not. And furthermore, I suspect that rather than the money being the issue, it’s that your boyfriend has had a change of heart.

ear Abby: I know it’s early, but my problem is Thanksgiving.

For the past several years we have included four other families for Thanksgiving dinner in our home. Their children are married now, and including their spouses and stepchildren, the number of guests is now close to 30. I feel it is too many and would like to downsize.

One family is my son’s in-laws, whom I consider to be family. Another family hosts everyone for Easter, and I would still like to include them because we’re close and we spend holidays with them.

The other two families are not as close with us anymore. We have never been invited to celebrate a holiday in their homes. They could cook for their families, and I feel like I am being used.

I would like to tell them, after Thanksgiving is over this year, that we plan to have a smaller gathering next year.

That will allow them ample time to make other plans. My husband agrees.

How do I do this without causing a rift, since two families will be included and two won’t?

his is Fire Prevention Week, and this year’s theme is keeping homes safe from fire and preventing painful burns.

This is a very broad and simple theme but one that is very important when you consider that cooking fires are one of the leading causes of home fires.

Approximately 2.4 million burns injuries are reported annually.

Many of these tragedies could be preventFIREHOUSE ed by CHAT increasing the Lee focus on Knight safety. â– â– â– Following are just a few ways to increase safety in the home, and they hopefully will encourage you to find other ways to make your home safe.

The leading cause of kitchen fires is unattended cooking.

Turning the stove off when you leave the kitchen will dramatically increase safety.

Take time to clean your stove and keep it grease free to decrease chances of a fire.

If you have young children, use the back burners when possible.

Never leave hot pots sitting on the edge of the stove, where children can reach them.

Many people do not realize how quickly children can become burned. Approximately 10,000 pediatric burns occur annually in the United States.

Most are hand and wrist burns caused by hot liquids and objects.

Keeping hot objects away from table edges goes a long way in making homes safer for children.

To avoid scalds from hot water, the thermostat setting on the water heater should not be more than 120 degrees. If you have a fireplace or wood burning stove, take extra precautions to keep young children at a safe distance.

It’s extremely important to have working smoke detectors in homes. This is a cheap and easy way to increase safety in the home. Remember, test detectors monthly, and change the batteries every six months.

Each of you should take time this Fire Prevention Week to learn ways to make your home safer. The reward could be a house fire that never happens or a traumatic burn someone in your family avoids.

For a few, heartburn leads to cancer

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am writing concerning your article on heartburn. I am a long-term survivor of esophageal cancer -- 10 1/2 years. I was diagnosed early. For years I had suffered from heartburn and practically lived on antacids. My primary-care physician sent me to have an endoscopic exam of my esophagus, and Barrett’s esophagus was found. I was then scoped annually, and in five years, esophageal cancer was found. As a survivor of this cancer, I am disappointed that you don’t mention Barrett’s esophagus. You are in an ideal position to promote esophageal cancer awareness. -- M.L.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Heartburn’s official name is GERD -- gastroesophageal reflux disease - and it’s the upward spouting of stomach acid and digestive juices into the esophagus. In some, after years of reflux, the lining of the lowermost part of the esophagus undergoes a transformation. The lining cells become elongated. That change marks Barrett’s esophagus. The only way to discover the change is through a scope examination of the esophagus along with a biopsy.

Barrett’s esophagus isn’t cancer, and it doesn’t produce any symptoms.

People with it feel the same as they did before it was discovered. However, the changes of Barrett’s esophagus can evolve into esophageal cancer. Some characteristics of the changes indicate a greater risk for cancer development. One is the length of involved tissue. If it’s longer than 3 cm (1.2 inches),

the risk of cancer increases.

W h e n Barrett’s changes are found, the doctor puts HEALTH the person on a schedDr. Paul ule of surDonohue veillance ■■■ scope exams to catch cancer changes early.

There are many ways of dealing with high-risk Barrett’s. I’ll mention one that is being used often.

It is radiofrequency ablation. Here the doctor uses radio waves to get rid of the abnormal cells and tissues. Those waves generate heat that destroys them.

Neither M.L. nor I want to frighten people who have heartburn. They are not doomed to cancer.

They should, however, be aware of these issues and follow their doctor’s suggestions for scope exams of the esophagus.

The booklet on heartburn and hiatal hernia presents the details and complications of these conditions. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 501, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 80 and always thought that we have only one intestine. I found out we have two, one large intestine called the colon and a small intestine. My question is: I know how to clean my large intestine, but

how do I clean the small intestine? The large intestine sends matter into the small intestine. I thought the opposite. I know good health starts with a clean intestine. -- K.B. We have only one intestinal tract. The first portion of the tract is the small intestine. The small intestine receives food from the stomach. It’s the place where nutrients are digested and absorbed.

The small intestine joins the colon (large intestine).

In the colon, water is absorbed from watery stool, and it changes into a solid residue.

You don’t have to cleanse either. Nature does that for us in spite of dire warnings to the contrary.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Some time ago, you wrote about the antibiotic erythromycin and its side effects. My husband is having eye surgery, and his instructions are to use this drug in ointment form.

Please educate us about this antibiotic. -- D.P. Erythromycin has been in use since the 1950s.

It has had an admirable record of success in treating many bacterial infections. It has few side effects. It can cause rashes, heartbeat disturbances liver malfunction and deafness. These events are extremely rare. Oral erythromycin might lead to nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.

Erythromycin ointment almost never has these side effects. Eye irritation is possible but not common.

AP

Tony Stewart celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ Price Chopper 400 auto race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday in Kansas City.

Stewart boosts title hopes KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) – Tony Stewart didn’t have time for a debate. He had one last chance to grab the win at Kansas Speedway, and it came down to one critical decision.

Two tires, or four?

The two-time series champion asked for two on the final pit stop Sunday, and crew chief Darian Grubb immediately agreed with the strategy. The rapid thinking got Stewart the race lead, and he held on over the final 26 laps for his fourth win of the season.

“He asked me what I thought, I kind of put my vote in, and he said it was exactly what he was thinking,” Stewart said. “It made me feel good that we both agreed on the same thing that quick. It was like, to both of us, it wasn’t even an option. We pretty much knew what we both needed.”

What he needed was a win.

After a rocky start to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, Stewart found himself in danger of allowing Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson to pull the title out of his reach in just the third of 10 races. Stewart went into the race fifth in the standings, 106 points behind leader Martin, and in a slump of five of six finishes outside the top 10.

Grubb knew they needed to turn it up, and soon, to stay in title contention.

“We knew going into the Chase it was a must-win situation,” Grubb said. “You’re going to have to win races against these competitors. You have to go in with the mindset you have to win races.”

The victory at Kansas moved Stewart up one spot in the standings to fourth, and his deficit was cut from 106 points to 67 behind Martin.

Stewart then raced through his celebration to fly off to Iowa, to compete with teammate Ryan Newman in the Knoxville Dirt Late Model Nationals, which were rained out Saturday night.

Martin, the pole-sitter, finished seventh and maintained his lead in the standings. He’s up 18 points over three-time defending series champion Johnson, who finished ninth after a bad pit call put him in traffic that he couldn’t overcome. Martin wasn’t in a celebratory mood despite maintaining his lead: There were only three drivers within 100 points of him at the start of the race, now the field has seven within 103.

“Look at it however you want,” Martin said. “What is there, seven more to go? I don’t think we should be getting all hyped up about the tally right now, you know?

The final outcome came down

to strategy, and it started to shape as a race that would be decided on fuel mileage. Then Dale Earnhardt Jr., who led 41 laps early before bad breaks ruined his day, brought out the final caution of the race when an engine problem spilled oil on the track.

The leaders went to pit road debating with their crew chiefs whether to take two or four tires on what was likely going to be the final chance to gain track position.

Stewart took off on the restart with 26 laps to go, and all the drivers on four tires quickly sliced through the field. But it was Jeff Gordon who made up the most ground. He was closing in on Stewart but simply ran out of laps and settled for second. Gordon moved fom eighth to seventh in the standings. He still cut his deficit from 122 points to 103.

Greg Biffle was third.

HIT AND RUN

---

T

ry as they might, the North Carolina Tar Heels can’t shake their Virginia hex.

Saturday appeared the perfect time for the Heels to exorcise those Cavalier demons.

Virginia entered with an 0-3 record – including a loss to William & Mary of the FCS, while UNC stood 3-1 with its only loss coming at powerful Georgia Tech.

But 39 rushing yards and no trips to the red zone later, the Tar Heels suffered a 16-3 defeat before a stunned crowd at Kenan Stadium.

For those keeping score, and I know folks in Cavalier Orange and Blue and Tar Heel Blue and White are doing just that, Virginia has won four straight in the series and 10 of the last 12.

Carolina last prevailed in Charlottesville in 1981 and its homework against the Cavs hasn’t been all that much better in recent years.

At 3-2 overall and 0-2 in ACC play, UNC remains in the mix for a solid season and a bowl bid.

But the loss to the Cavaliers derailed any realistic hopes for a Coastal Division crown.

Virginia Tech does not have a league loss yet, while Georgia Tech and Miami are 2-1 in ACC action. The Heels will be hard-pressed to pass all three on the ultra-competitive Coastal path.

In classic TV terms, the Cavaliers once again have proven the Perry Mason to the Tar Heels Hamilton Burger.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Once Jacory Harris settled down and Miami’s defense got rolling, the Hurricanes found the right combination for their biggest win in years.

And for Sam Bradford-less Oklahoma, it was just another frustrating trip to South Florida.

Harris survived a shaky start to throw three touchdown passes, Javarris James ran for a career-high 150 yards against the nation’s top rush defense, and Miami knocked off Oklahoma 2120 late Saturday night – in what will join some games from the 1980s as another Hurricanes-Sooners classic.

With Oklahoma’s reigning Heisman Trophywinning quarterback watching from the sideline, Miami (3-1) scored 21 straight points to take control.

Oklahoma’s last trip to the Hurricanes’ home field was last January, when it lost the BCS national championship game to Florida.

This one almost certainly ended any Sooners national title hopes.

Favre fuels Pack-Vikes rivalry that runs deep MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – These Midwestern states of Wisconsin and Minnesota have much in common, including an intense dislike of each other’s football teams.

It’s more polite than the East Coast, but this is a true story: An angry Vikings fan was once arrested for trying to light a Packers backer on fire.

So when Brett Favre called off retirement for a second straight summer and did the unthinkable by signing with the Vikings, that loathing toward the NFL’s all-time leading passer formally shifted east to Wisconsin. Tonight, Minnesota will host Green Bay at the Metrodome in Favre’s first game against his old team.

Patriots trip Ravens THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tom Brady and Randy Moss hooked up for their first touchdown pass of the season and Baltimore failed on fourth-down plays on its last two series, allowing New England to post a 27-21 victory on Sunday.

Moss’ touchdown made it 24-14 late in the third quarter, but Joe Flacco’s 13-yard pass to Willis McGahee cut that to 24-21. Stephen Gostkowski’s 33yard field goal gave the Patriots (3-1) a six-point lead midway through the fourth quarter.

On the next possession, with a fourthand-1 at the Ravens 45-yard line, McGahee was stopped for no gain.

The Ravens (3-1) got the ball back after a punt and moved to a fourth-and4 at the 14. Flacco then threw to Mark Clayton, who dropped the ball with 28 seconds remaining.

SAINTS 24, JETS 10 NEW ORLEANS – Darren Sharper returned one of his two interceptions of rookie Mark Sanchez 99 yards for a score, Will Smith forced a fumble in the end zone to produce a second defensive touchdown, and New Orleans handed the New York Jets their first loss, 24-10 on Sunday.

New York (3-1) lost despite stopping the Saints twice on fourth-and-short and holding Drew Brees to 190 yards passing and no touchdowns. In his first loss as a pro, Sanchez completed 14 of 27 passes for 138 yards, which might have been enough if not for his four turnovers.

BRONCOS 17, COWBOYS 10

gals coach Marvin Lewis gambled on fourth-and-11 from the Cleveland 41 with 1:04 remaining. Palmer dropped back to pass and then tucked it away and scampered up the middle for the first down. Cincinnati ran two plays to get Graham in position, and the kicker, who had an extra point and field goal blocked, drilled it through the uprights.

JAGUARS 37, TITANS 17 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – David Garrard threw for 323 yards and three touchdowns, two to Mike Sims-Walker, and the Jaguars dismantled the Tennessee Titans 37-17 Sunday.

Garrard shredded Tennessee’s injury depleted secondary, often picking on rookie cornerback Jason McCourty, and Jacksonville’s defense made the Titans (0-4) look, well, like a winless team. Tennessee went 13-3 last season, the league’s best record, and didn’t lose until Game 11. The Jaguars improved to 2-2.

COLTS 34, SEAHAWKS 17 INDIANAPOLIS – Peyton Manning led the Colts to touchdowns on four of their first five drives, tied milestones established by Fran Tarkenton and Dan Marino and extended Indianapolis’ regular-season victory streak to 13.

Manning finished 31 of 41 for 353 yards, marking the first time in 12 NFL seasons he has topped 300 yards in four consecutive games.

The first TD pass went to Reggie Wayne, making Manning and Dan Marino the only quarterbacks in league history to throw 55 TD passes to two different receivers. The second went to rookie Austin Collie after a brilliant audible with 3 seconds left in the half.

It not only gave the Colts (4-0) a 21-3 halftime lead but also gave Manning a share of third place on the NFL’s career touchdowns passing list with Tarkenton. Both have 342.

Only Marino (420) and Brett Favre (469) have thrown more.

Seattle (1-3) played without quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and left tackle Walter Jones, who are both hurt, and lost its third straight.

DENVER – Champ Bailey knocked away a potential tying touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Sam Hurd with one second left. On fourth-and-goal from the 2, Tony Romo found Hurd cutting over the middle, but Bailey reached around and swatted the pass away at the last second, giving the Broncos their first 4-0 start since 2003.

The Broncos took the lead on Brandon Marshall’s 51-yard touchdown catch with 1:46 remaining.

The Cowboys (2-2) were ranked first in the league in rushing, but managed only 74 yards on the ground.

The Dolphins came into the game 0-3 despite a strong running attack and an 11-minute edge per game in time of possession. Against Buffalo (1-3), Miami ran for 250 yards and mounted scoring drives of 65, 66 and 65 yards.

LANDOVER, Md. – Jason Campbell made up for a pair of first-half interceptions with two second-half touchdowns, and the Redskins scored on three straight possessions for the first time this season.

Auburn joins poll at No. 17 NEW YORK (AP) – Rejuvenated Auburn jumped into the AP Top 25 for the first time this season, landing at No. 17 after improving to 5-0 under new coach Gene Chizik.

One week after a bunch of upsets gave The Associated Press poll a serious shake-up, a relatively predictable weekend provided some stability – though several teams outside the top 10 lost, dropped out of the rankings and made room for newcomers like Auburn.

No. 23 South Florida (5-0), No. 24 Missouri (4-0) and No. 25 South Carolina (4-1) also moved into The Associated Press poll Sunday.

The Bulls and the Gamecocks are in for the first time this season. The Tigers were ranked for a week last month.

The top four in the media poll were unchanged. Florida is No. 1, followed

by Texas, Alabama and LSU. The Gators play at LSU on Saturday.

The Gators received 54 first-place votes, Texas got one and Alabama five.

Virginia Tech moved up a spot to No. 5 and Boise State slipped one to No. 6 after a lackluster 34-16 victory against UC Davis on Saturday. Georgia is out of the Top 25 for the first time since Dec. 3, 2006, after losing a 20-13 thriller at home to LSU. The SEC has six teams ranked, including three of the top four.

Three-and-out dooms UNC

BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL – After North Carolina’s 16-3 loss to Virginia, defensive end Robert Quinn admitted it was frustrating to watch the offense continually go three-and-out on Saturday.

While UNC’s defense held Virginia to 254 yards of offense and gave up just three field goals during the first three quarters, the Tar Heels failed to find the end zone. “(The offense is) going three and out and we’re back on the field or they’re turning the ball over and we’re back on the field,” Quinn said. “It’s a team game – I’m not trying to play the blame game, but the offense has got to help us some.”

The sophomore finished with seven

tackles and a career-high three sacks, but Quinn’s game was overshadowed by the poor offensive play. UNC converted 4 of 16 third downs and failed to reach the red zone.

But while the defense kept the score close, both UNC coach Butch Davis and his players admitted they could have played better. The offense turned the ball over three times, but the defense didn’t record a turnover for the second straight game – not that they didn’t have opportunities. The Cavs recovered their lone fumble at the end of the second quarter, and safety Duenta Williams appeared to have an interception before it slipped out of his hands.

“We’ve got to get back to the basics and try to find something that works,” Williams said.

Aggies savor double-overtime success GREENSBORO (AP) – Carlton Fears threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Wallace Miles in the second overtime to lead N.C. A&T to a 23-17 victory over N.C. Central on Saturday night.

Fears passed for 166 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 58 yards to help the Aggies (3-2) break a threegame losing streak to the Eagles (0-5).

The game ended too late Saturday to be included in Sunday’s edition of The High Point Enterprise.

Fears was 8-for-20, and Miles caught

four passes for 101 yards and two touchdowns. His 37-yard touchdown catch gave the Aggies a 7-0 lead with 9:53 left in the first quarter.

A&T led 17-7, but the Eagles scored 10 fourth-quarter points to force overtime. Michael Johnson threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to Will Scott to cut the lead to 17-14 with 12:28 left in the game and Frankie Cardelle hit a 20-yard field goal with 2:36 remaining.

Scott caught five passes for 179 yards.

AP

Virginia Tech’s Xavier Boyce (29) and Duke’s Leon Wright reach for a pass during the first half of Saturday’s game in Durham. The pass fell incomplete, but the Hokies grabbed a hard-fought 34-26 victory over the Blue Devils.

Hokie catch derails Blue Devils

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – Duke cornerback Leon Wright’s choice of words to describe Virginia Tech’s passing game were inadvertently amusing.

“The quarterback put the ball where it needed to be, and their receivers made the plays,” Wright said. “You can’t take anything away from their receivers.”

Wright appeared to take the ball away from a Virginia Tech receiver, but the officials on the field instead credited Hokies wide receiver Jarrett Boykin with a touchdown, and the replay booth didn’t change the call after a lengthy delay.

The touchdown gave Virginia Tech

a 17-7 lead midway through the second quarter of its 34-26 victory.

“I saw the quarterback throw it, and I played the ball well and grabbed it and came down,” Wright said. “He had his arm inside, and when we came down we kind of rolled over, and somehow he ended up with the ball. But I came down with the ball, and he was out of bounds and I was inbounds, so I thought it should have been an interception.”

Replays appeared to show that Boykin stepped out of bounds before the ball arrived and that he was out of bounds by the time he wrestled the ball away from Wright. The play was reviewed for nearly five minutes, and the ruling on the field was upheld.

Ochoa defends Navistar crown ENTERPRISE STAFF, WIRE REPORTS

PRATTVILLE, Ala. – Lorena Ochoa successfully defended her Navistar LPGA Classic title, overcoming early troubles to shoot a 2-under 70 on Sunday for a four-stroke victory over Michelle Wie and Brittany Lang.

Ochoa finished at 18-under 270 on The Senator course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Capitol Hill complex to snap an 11-start winless streak dating to the Corona Championship in late April. The top-ranked Mexican star has three victories this year and 27 overall on the LPGA Tour.

Ochoa wiped out her three-stroke lead coming into the day with a bogey and double bogey in the first five holes.

She erased any drama with a birdie on No. 17. Wie overcame a gimpy left ankle to close with a 66. Lang had a 70.

Fourteen-year-old Alexis Thompson shot her second straight 74 to tie for 27th at 6 under. She opened with rounds of 65 and 69 to share the secondround lead.

HAAS CHARGES TO TITLE TIMONIUM, Md. – Jay Haas charged past Tom Watson to win the Senior Players Championship by a stroke, birdieing the 18th hole to match the course record with a 6-under 64 in the final Champions Tour major of the season.

The 60-year-old Watson was tying to become the oldest major winner on the 50-and-over tour. But after making only one bogey in the first three rounds at Baltimore Country Club, he had three in the final round en route to a 70.

Haas finished at 13-under 267 for his third senior major title. He has 14 career Champions Tour victories, also winning the Greater Hickory Classic two weeks ago.

KUCHAR, TAYLOR STILL TIED VERONA, N.Y. – Matt Kuchar and Vaughn Taylor were still tied after two holes in a sudden-death playoff at the Turning Stone Resort Championship

when play was suspended because of darkness, forcing a finish today.

They birdied the first extra hole and parred the second. They will resume play at 8:30 a.m. on the 13th tee.

Taylor, the second-round leader, began the day three shots off the lead and shot a 6-under 66 to match Kuchar (69) at 17under 271. Rookie Leif Olson (69) tied for third with Tim Petrovic (67) at 16 under.

DONALD LEADS BY ONE ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – England’s Luke Donald shot an 8-under 64 at Kingsbarns to take a one-stroke lead over Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy and England’s Simon Dyson after the third round of the weather-delayed Dunhill Links Championship.

Donald had a 15-under 201 total after rounds at Carnoustie, the Old Course at St. Andrews and Kingsbarns. McIlroy shot a 69 at Kingsbarns, and Dyson had a 68, also at Kingsbarns. The final round will be played on the Old Course.

JARRELL, LONEY TEAM FOR CROWN THOMASVILLE – Lanny Jarrell and Tom Loney shot 67-67–134 to win the Colonial Country Club Fall MemberMember by one stroke on Sunday.

The format was 36-hole best ball. Jeff Owens and Doug Collamer placed second at 66-69–135. Michael Byrd and Collins Fulcher took third at 68-74–142.

Shorty Kimmons and Kevin Brown won first flight at 66-72–138, one stroke ahead of Jeff Nance and Mike Everhart (72-67). Dwight Shoe-Herb Young Jr. (69-75) and Russell Hodge-Randall Cromer (69-75) shared third at 144.

In second flight, Chad Miller and Chris Surratt prevailed at 73-75–148, five head of Mark Akerman-Robert Blakely (72-81). Steve Cothran and Jeff Rains placed third at 75-80–155.

Mark Walker and Rex Truell captured third flight at 77-82–159, followed by two teams at 164 – Kent Cecil-Todd Barrow (82-82) and Lanny HamptonDirk Swing (82-82). Hampton-Swing won the playoff for second.

Vettel finished ahead of Toyota’s Jarno Trulli and McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton.

Drivers’ championship leader Jenson Button of Brawn GP was eighth, a place below teammate Rubens Barrichello.

Brawn GP all but sealed the constructors’ championship. Only a one-two finish by Red Bull in both the remaining races and Brawn finishing pointless can prevent a Brawn title.

Button’s lead over Barrichello was cut by one point to 14, with Vettel two points further back.

Everyday act leads to violence on NYC street NEW YORK (AP) – New Yorkers bump into each other countless times on crowded sidewalks, and sometimes there’s an “excuse me,” sometimes a terse “watch where you’re going,” and then disappearance again into the sea of faces.

But for Sir’mone McCaulla and Christopher Gutierrez, what should’ve been a brief collision outside a post office in a crowded part of town took a violent turn this week, and both men are now dead: Gutierrez, stabbed to death on the street, McCaulla in an apparent

suicide after the altercation.

Both were headed home after a long day; both had toddlers.

They bumped shoulders walking past each other along Eighth Avenue across the street from Madison Square Garden at about 5:45 p.m. last Sunday. Gutierrez had just finished his shift stocking groceries at Met Food and was headed to his new apartment in Queens. McCaulla had just gotten off a bus from New Jersey and was on his way to see his daughter in East Harlem.

Words were exchanged and they squared off. “I told the man ‘keep

it moving, no problems, but if u (sic) leap I’m gonna (sic) f--- you up,’ ” McCaulla wrote in a rambling post on his MySpace page.

McCaulla had a knife at his side, and he lunged at Gutierrez, stabbing at him four times, according to Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. He struck Gutierrez in the chest and he fell bleeding onto the steps of the James A. Farley Post Office.

Surveillance tape shows a man walk slowly away, then turn around and go back to the scene to pick up a cell phone before disappearing into the crowd. A Ger-

man man snapped a photo of the suspect and gave it to police.

The investigation into the slaying began, and Gutierrez’s family started to grieve.

McCaulla had been an Army reservist since 2003, and had apparently been in Kuwait. He said he was in training to be a corrections officer. He had a 3year-old girl, Samirah, and was recently fired from a job as a FedEx driver.

McCaulla disappeared after the incident, and his mother, Arlene, told reporters earlier in the week she hadn’t seen her son

in several days. Police said McCaulla went to the home of his ex-girlfriend in Philadelphia, where he electrocuted himself in the bathtub. His MySpace posting was entitled: “My statement b4 goodbye,” and he said he was venting and wasn’t going to correct his spelling.

“I didn’t mean to kill him just wanted to stop the threat,” he wrote. “I’m goin (sic) out rather go out in the hands of myself than another man if it’s hard for me to find work out of the arm its gonna (sic) be 10 times harder if I come out as a felon.”

Llama rescued near top of Pikes Peak COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – A lone llama wandering near the summit of Pikes Peak for a month has been captured and is heading to a new home.

railway tracks near the summit of Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs, Colo. Southwest Llama Rescue coordinated Ducharme, adding that she doesn’t expect to have any trouble finding him a permanent home.

The Southwest Llama Rescue group coordinated efforts to capture Homer before he fell prey to

mountain lions, coyotes or the coming winter. The group says llamas are domesticated animals and don’t have the instincts to survive in the wild.

Rescuers speculate that the llama might have es-

caped from a stock trailer on the plains below or from hikers who were using it as a pack animal.

But no one has reported a missing llama.

Riders on a cog railway on the mountain first re-

ported seeing the llama about a month ago. It roamed the mountain’s south slope, living off alpine vegetation and trying unsuccessfully to make friends with a herd of bighorn sheep.

Shooting victim says Russia links should be probed ADELPHI, Md. (AP) – That night, he was returning home from the International Spy Museum, of all places. He had been meeting with, of all people, an old friend who once was a top officer in the KGB. It was raining when Paul Joyal pulled into his driveway in this suburb 10 miles from the White House. As he stepped out of his car, nothing seemed amiss. He did not see two men lurking in the darkness.

But suddenly, he was under attack, cold-cocked on the side of his head. The 55-yearold Joyal fought back. He elbowed one of the attackers in the gut and bowled into him.

He and the assailant tumbled to the ground.

“Shoot him!” barked the man he struggled with – and Joyal instinctively folded his arms across his chest and rolled to the side as the other attacker fired.

The bullet ripped through his intestines. Then the shooter moved in for a second shot at

close range – and pulled the trigger.

But the gun jammed.

By now, Joyal’s dogs were barking because of the commotion and gunshot, and his family and neighbors were stirring.

Without a word more, the attackers ran, possibly through the sprawling cemetery behind Joyal’s backyard.

Normally, his wife Elizabeth would have been attending a dance class on Thursday, but she happened to be home that night, March 1, 2007, and frantically dialed 911.

“My husband’s just been shot.

Please,” she said.

“Who was he shot by?” the dispatcher asked after confirming the address.

“I don’t know.”

And that’s still true today.

Some 21⁄2 years after the shooting, the motive still remains uncertain.

Police assumed that Joyal was the victim of a random street crime. He assumed the same, at first.

AP

Paul Joyal is photographed at his home, Sept. 19, in Adelphi, Md. On March 1, 2007, he was returning home from the International Spy Museum, of all places. He had been meeting with, of all people, an old friend who once was a top officer in the KGB. But suddenly, he was under attack.

But he soon confronted another possibility. For years, he had warned that the Russian government was taking extreme steps, including assassinations, to silence its critics. Perhaps he too had become a target.

ZEAL FOR REFORM GENUINE When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the zeal for reform within America’s former enemy was genuine, Joyal said, and he again placed himself in the middle of the action.

He traveled frequently to Moscow and to the newly independent

nation of Georgia, a former Soviet republic.

It was during this time that he met former KGB counterintelligence chief Oleg Kalugin, forming a friendship and a business partnership. Joyal helped Kalugin land a teaching position at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. But in time the reformist tide ebbed in Russia, and men like Kalugin fell out of favor. ThenPresident Vladimir Putin called Kalugin a “traitor” for criticizing Russia. In 2002, Kalugin was convicted in absentia on trea-

son charges; the United States refused to extradite him.

Joyal spoke out forcefully against the changes. He was a frequent commentator on the BBC decrying what he considered Russian bullying tactics against Georgia. Joyal became a paid lobbyist in the United States for Georgia, where last year tensions with Russia boiled over into a brief military conflict.

He and Kalugin remained close. It was Kalugin whom Joyal had met at the spy museum before the shooting.

Early Brazilian plane in Wright brothers country URBANA, Ohio (AP) – It was as if the ghosts of the first men to fly were hovering above, keeping a watchful eye.

Inside a tiny hangar that nudges a western Ohio cornfield, workers assembled a rare replica of the

Demoiselle, a 1908 airplane designed by Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos Dumont.

A few feet away sat a replica of a Wright brothers’ plane, and 20 miles south was Huffman Prairie, the sacred ground where Wil-

bur and Orville Wright developed and perfected their airplanes.

The Demoiselle has gone on exhibit in Wright brothers country and is expected to stay for at least a year, the longest it will have ever been in the United

States. Aviation historians are hoping the Wright-Dumont combination will fire up new interest in the birth of flight.

The Demoiselle is on loan to the Champaign Aviation Museum in Urbana by Brazilian indus-

trialist Fernando de Arruda Botelho. It arrived from Brazil and was assembled last Monday, a week before the 104th anniversary of Wilbur Wright’s 24 miles in the air at Huffman Prairie – the first controlled flight.

“He wanted to bring a plane back here and keep it in the United States so that we could do things together,” Anthony Sculimbrene, executive director of the National Aviation Heritage Alliance in nearby Dayton, said of Botelho.

BREAKING THE SLUMP: See if investors can resume the summer rally. TOMORROW

Government report questions rescue claims WASHINGTON (AP) – The credibility of the government’s $700 billion financial rescue program was damaged by claims a year ago that all of the initial banks receiving support were healthy, a new report contends.

Special Inspector General Neil Barofsky generally found that the government had acted properly in October 2008

as it scrambled to implement the Troubled Asset Relief Program to avert the collapse of the U.S. financial system.

But the report said that then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and other officials were wrong to contend at an Oct. 14 press conference that all nine institutions receiving the first round of support – $125 billion – were sound.

“These are healthy institutions, and they have taken this step for the good of the economy,�

Paulson had declared at the time.

Barofsky said that the fact that Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. soon required billions in additional assistance highlighted the inaccuracy of that claim and raised questions about the

whole effort. In addition, Merrill Lynch, which was also in the original nine, was in the process of being acquired by Bank of America because of its weakening financial position. “Statements that are less than careful or forthright – like those made in this case – may ultimately undermine the public’s under-

standing and support,� the report said. “This loss of public support could damage the government’s credibility and have long-term unintended consequences that actually hamper the government’s ability to respond to crises.�

In announcing the $125 billion in support to the nine institutions, Paulson had said that by building

up the capital reserves of these healthy institutions, it would allow them to resume normal lending to businesses and consumers and help stabilize the financial system.

The nine institutions, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co., held about 75 percent of the assets of the U.S. banking system at the time.

It’s become especially hard to find accountants, health care workers, software sales representatives, actuaries, data analysts, physical therapists and electrical engineers, labor analysts say. And employers that demand highly specialized training struggle even more to fill jobs.

The nation has lost a net 7.6 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007. Yet it can take a year or more for a laid-off worker to gain the training and education to switch industries. “So we have this army of the unemployed� without the necessary skills, Koropeckyj said.

NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market’s bulls are slowing their charge, and upcoming earnings reports will determine whether they keep going forward or just stop.

A two-week slump in response to disappointing economic numbers has investors asking whether the market’s powerful rally is fading on what would be the start of its eighth month.

Analysts have been calling for a break in the ferocious advance, but now that it’s here, even many who expect further gains are adopting healthy caution.

The third-quarter reports could give investors a better sense of whether companies managed to bring in

more revenue to produce earnings growth or whether they again resorted to steep cost-cutting to boost their bottom lines as with the April-June period.

Aluminum producer Alcoa Inc., PepsiCo Inc. and Marriott International Inc. are slated to report during the week as is Yum Brands Inc., the parent of the Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC fast-food chains.

Beyond earnings, investors will have a light economic calendar this week. The Institute for Supply Management’s service index, which covers businesses including hospitals, retailers and financial services firms, is expected today.

Fires char wildland in California, Arizona WRIGHTWOOD, Calif. (AP) – A wind-fanned wildfire that charred some 51⁄2 square-miles of the San Gabriel Mountains continued to rage Sunday as firefighters worked to prevent flames from advancing toward a mountain resort community.

The 3,500-acre Sheep fire, driven by wind gusts of up to 40 mph, destroyed three homes and was 10 percent surrounded.

Between 4,000 to 6,000 residents were ordered to evacuate, said Robin Prince, public information officer for the San Bernardino National Forest.

“The winds are quite a problem,” Prince said.

Firefighters were making a stand in the mountain resort community of Wrightwood, which con-

tains a mix of full-time Sunday morning aided by residences and vacation about 1,000 firefighters on homes, spreading fire re- the ground.

The blaze broke out Saturday near Lytle Creek, a small community surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest.

Fueled by thick timber and brush, the fire pushed over hills and canyons by winds.

Typhoon Melor slips past Northern Mariana Islands SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands (AP) – A typhoon churning across the western Pacific moved away from the Northern Mariana Islands on Sunday as residents began cleaning up after gusting winds and minor flooding.

With Typhoon Melor clearing the U.S. commonwealth’s three main islands, the National Weather Service cancelled the last remaining typhoon warning for the island of Agrihan. Similar warnings for Saipan and Tinian ended earlier Sunday.

About 21⁄2 inches of rain fell on Saipan in a 24-hour period, including two inches of precipitation over six hours, said weather service senior forecaster Paul Stanko in Guam. The strongest wind gusts topped out at 53 mph, he added.

“It could have been a lot worse,” Stanko said, adding that the island would have

experienced more calamity if it was located 20 to 30 miles further south. “They narrowly dodged a bullet.”

Tinian experienced similar rain measurements and wind gusts, Stanko said. However, his office has not received an update from Agrihan.

The eye of the storm traveled directly over the island of Anatahan, which was populated until the 1990s when volcanic activity grew dangerous, Stanko said. A major eruption occurred in 2003.

The Saipan Tribune reported that nearly 550 Saipan residents gathered at seven shelters Saturday afternoon. It said Tinian’s one shelter, set up in an elementary school, was empty.

No major injuries or significant structural damage were reported on Saipan, according to the Tribune.

Some cities, such as Chapel Hill, allow chickens to be kept in citizens’ backyards.

Urban farmboys As local food gains support, local planners face decisions

BY MICHAEL HILL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

C

hickens finally can roost legally in Bozeman, Mont.

And it’s thanks largely to a group of food-minded locals calling itself the Community Led Urban Chicken movement – that’s right, CLUC – that persuaded city officials to lift restrictions on the increasingly popular practice of keeping backyard birds for eggs or meat.

Such encounters between so-called locavores (people who strive to eat locally produced foods) and bureaucrats are increasingly common as more people try to bring a taste of the farm to the city.

As the popularity of eating local has moved from the high-end restaurant scene to the mainstream, local food has become a priority issue for more mayors, city planners and zoning officials

’People came up and said, “... We like the idea of having a sustainable food source in our backyard.”’

Brit Fontenot Bozeman, Mont., city official who must make decisions about everything from chicken coops and farmers’ markets to more expansive policies designed to boost consumption of fresh food.

“All across the country, city officials are beginning to realize that the food system isn’t merely like other businesses – office supplies or electronics,” said Nevin Cohen, an assistant professor of urban studies at The New School in New York City. “Food is something different that affects cities in a different way. So there’s a role for government in figuring out how to get the food system right for a city.”

Local food is a tiny part of the overall U.S. food market, but it’s growing fast as consumers become more discerning about the quality of their food and where it comes from. The market research firm Packaged Facts estimates demand for local food

First lady Michelle Obama picks fresh flowers from a stall at the opening of the Freshfarm Market’s new farmers’ market near the White House. will grow to $7 billion in 2011, up from around $4 billion in 2002.

Americans’ growing taste for local food is most apparent in the farmers’ markets sprouting up nationwide like cornstalks in summer. The 4,900 farmers’ markets counted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is double the number tallied in 1996.

But even something as benignsounding as a place for local farmers to sell lettuce and apples can pose zoning or planning issues. Markets need variances if they’re to be set up in noncommercial areas. Impacts on the neighborhoods need to be considered: Are there enough parking spaces? Will unsold vegetables will be left to rot on the curb?

Will it be too noisy?

“People think it’s going to be a two-week process, and it ends up being a six-month process,” said Rob Sentner, a member of the local planning commission and open space committee in Upper Milford, Pa., near Allentown.

Sentner said behind-the-scenes work for a market in Upper Milford included tweaking local regulations to define what a

farmers’ market is and demonstrating that it met state health and agricultural standards.

It’s not any easier in bigger cities. Los Angeles Councilwoman Jan Perry, who has helped land four farmers’ markets in her district, said it takes tenacity and working around logistical issues.

She recently helped launch Los Angeles’ Food Policy Task Force, which will take a more systemic approach to bringing local produce across the city.

Those kinds of citywide efforts, many aimed at fighting obesity among poor people, are becoming common. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in July issued the city’s first comprehensive food policy, which places an emphasis on regional food. New York City’s Planning Commission in September approved a proposal to offer tax incentives to land more grocery stores that devote shelf space to fresh produce, meats and dairy.

Kimberley Hodgson, manager of the American Planning Association’s Planning and Community Health Research Center, said more municipalities are

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

starting to consider plans that take into account whole regions – city and country – as they consider the entire food chain from production to disposal.

“This is the new trend because planners are realizing that there is such an urban-rural linkage to the food system,” Hodgson said.

“So to just focus on the city or county food system really ignores the other parts of the system.”

This is not always simple.

Local officials sometimes must balance the desire for fresh food with the nuisance factor. New York City officials asked to legalize beekeeping within the city limits this year were essentially being asked to favor urban beekeepers and local honey lovers over residents who fear getting stung.

Then there is the chicken issue. It’s illegal in many cities because of the noise and the mess.

But with more people agitating to raise chickens in their backyards, a lot of municipal officials are rethinking their laws.

“People came up and said, ‘Hey we like the idea of knowing where our food comes from.

We like the idea of having a sustainable food source in our backyard,’” said Brit Fontenot, assistant to the Bozeman city manager. “‘Why can’t we look at removing this restriction?’”

Chapel Hill, N.C., gave the OK to chicken keeping earlier this year, as did Buffalo, N.Y. The Iowa City Council is considering a backyard chicken ordinance, and officials in Washington – which in September opened a new farmers’ market just blocks from the White House – are considering easing restrictions on raising chickens within 50 feet of homes, which would allow more residents to raise the birds.

But officials in some other towns have balked. The Denver suburb of Aurora, Colo., declined to allow it in June. Aurora Neighborhood Support Division manager Ron Moore said given factors like noise and sanitary concerns, city council member simply saw little reason to change the law.

In Bozeman, chicken keeping can officially commence on Oct. 29. CLUC organizer Alison Sweeney said she can’t wait to move her chicks from a friend’s house to within the city limits.

“I’m so excited,” she said.

“They’re so precious.”

According to the American Diabetes Association, about one in five people with diabetes enters the hospital for foot problems. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combination of causes including poor circulation and nerve damage. As a result, diabetics may not feel cuts, scratches and breaks on the skin of their feet.

If left untreated, these wounds may eventually lead to amputation.

It is very important for diabetics to take necessary precautions to prevent all related foot injuries. On Oct. 20, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Randolph Hospital in coordination with Drs. Steven Tilles and Kathryn Egerton, podiatrists, will offer free foot screenings for diabetics. The screenings are performed to educate individuals with diabetes about the risk of untreated foot conditions.

This free screening is one of Randolph Hospital’s community education opportunities offered throughout the year on a variety of health-related topics. For more information and to register for this event, please call Randolph Hospital at (336) 633-7788, or register online at www.randolphhospital.org under the “Events” section.

“Are you an advocate of the Law of Total Tricks?” a player asked me.

The “Law” says that the combined number of trumps both sides have in their best suit should equal the tricks available.

Today’s East-West have 11 hearts, North-South have nine diamonds: Diamond and heart contracts should produce 20 tricks.

“The Law is often accurate within a trick or two,” I said, “but one trick can mean a lot.”

GOOD PLAY According to the LOTT, if four hearts makes, five diamonds will be down one. Well, East makes four hearts with good play. He wins the diamond opening lead, ruffs a diamond and leads a spade to the king. When North turns up with the ace, East may infer from the bidding that South has the ace of clubs.

What of South’s prospects at five diamonds?

Say he wins a heart lead and forces out the ace of trumps. Unless West shifts to the KING of spades, killing dummy’s entry to the clubs, South takes 11 tricks.

“Laws” are fine, but deals are played at the table, not in theory.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 8 H K Q 9 8 6 5 3 2 D 4 C 6 5 2. With neither side vulnerable, you deal and open four hearts.

The next player bids four spades, your partner doubles and the player at your right passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: The problem deserves no thought. After you preempted and described your hand, more or less, your partner makes the decisions. Trust him and pass. For all you know, he has four spades doubled beaten three tricks in his own hand.

South dealer Neither side vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

‘Zombieland’ opens to $25 million debut LOS ANGELES (AP) – The undead were alive and well at movie theaters as Woody Harrelson’s horror comedy “Zombieland” opened on top with $25 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Yet the general box office was less lively as a flurry of new wide releases did solid to ho-hum business. Overall Hollywood revenues came in at $113.4 million, down

4 percent from the same weekend last year.

Sony scored a one-two punch with “Zombieland” and the animated family tale “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” which took in $16.7 million, slipping to second-place after two weekends at No. 1.

Mixing gory action with laughs, “Zombieland” teams Harrelson with Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone

as a band of humans fighting legions of undead – and taking a road trip to a supposedly zombie-free amusement park.

Taking a big bite of the family audience with $12.5 million was a double-feature reissue of Disney’s “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2” in 3-D, which came in at No. 3.

Playing for a two-week run, the double-feature sets the stage for the release of “Toy Story 3” in 3-D next year.
